Oil level
PrincipleAdvice
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the
dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.
There are 2 marks on the dipstick:
- A = max; never exceed this
level,
- B = min; top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.
Checking
F Open the bonnet and secure it with the
st ay.
F Pull the dipstick out and wipe it with a clean
cloth.
F Return the dipstick to its tube and then pull
it out again to check the level against the
mark.
F Return the dipstick to its tube.
Low oil level
F Identify the engine oil filler cap.
F Open the filler cap.
F Add engine oil with exceeding mark A .
F Fit the filler cap. Take car when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be very hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan can start at any time (even
with the ignition switched off).
If a level is found to be very low, have
the corresponding system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A check of the engine oil level is only
valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.
Oil grade: the oil used must meet
the specification given in the
manufacturer's servicing and warranty
booklet.

Gear shift indicator
Principle
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. This is because
the configuration of the road, the amount of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore, the
driver remains responsible for deciding whether
or not to follow the indications given.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode. The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be
accompanied by a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.

In order for the ventilation and air conditioning to be fully effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F The air conditioning system only works with the engine running.
F Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
F If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Advice
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).
Passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of the
vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace it
twice as often if necessar y .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule.
